ST. MARYS - Pip, the son of St. Marys native Jim Arnold, will once again be appearing on NBC's "The Voice" this evening, and area residents are encouraged to attend a viewing party at ChinAmerica Palace in St. Marys to support the young singer.
Pip's aunt, Laura Claypool, has organized the event, which she described as a way for Pip's local supporters to "bite their nails together" as they wait to see if he makes it to the next round in the competition. The show starts at 8 p.m.; however, individuals can come early and take advantage of some "Pip" food specials.
